The Ingys and Ike-Going Stir Crazy

As you can see, we're loosing it a little bit around here. Poor Granny Sherry is used to only sharing her house with her dog, Pee Wee. Now she's got our family of 5 moved into her 2 bedroom house. I'm sure she's thinking that she lived through Hurricane Ike and now she's having to live through Hurricane Ingy! The babies are both crawling, and boy are they fast. We've baby-proofed the shelves as far up as they can reach, and I've given up on taking the dog toys away from them. Besides, Granny Sherry's house is so clean that Pee Wee's dog toys are probably cleaner than most anything. Jason's dad read in the paper that they are aiming to have power restored to our zip code by Tuesday. The local channels aren't doing 24/7 news coverage anymore, so it was nice to see some network television shows tonight...hopefully "normal" isn't too far off.

I suppose Ike has taught us all a few lessons about "cabin fever". And of course counting our blessings. We are still without power, using a generator, but we are only mildy inconvenienced. We are using our camper for the luxury of a hot shower and running water, as well as cooking. And we have been blessed with cool weather and sleep in the house with the windows open. I think we will return to school on Monday. Kristi is still without power, but has a generator for basic needs. Her school is closed for another week, thru Sept. 29. Hang in there--normal will return--and we will go back in our a/c houses, turn on our tv, computer and not talk to our neighbors as much as during the storm.
Counting my blessings, and those of all I love....Lu
